To all:
Well, after four years of a slow restoration on my 1971 BGT I have to let her
go. I can't go into it now, but my time and efforts must now go into other
things.
I have replaced most of the metal from the lower 12 inches of the car including
floor pans, inner, outer sills. New muffler and pipes (1999). Front panels are
rust free, and back panels are new welded metal. All replacement panels (pan,
sills, etc were from Moss). 2 year old 12 volt battery. Interior is new install
(1999)- Moss standard kit. Clutch kit replaced less than 2 months ago.
She still needs more work (like paint, a new bonnet, door skin on the passenger
side needs replacing, etc.), but runs every time I start her up. The body is
in black primer right now, as I have never got around to the painting part. I
estimate she is 75% to 80% "restored."
I am asking $1,500 OBO. I am located in Columbus, Ohio.
She will never be a concourse car, and all the work was purposefully on a
"rolling restoration" basis. As a second driver for weekends and the
occasional trip to the park/store she is in great shape.
She has never stalled, only looses a few drops of oil on the garage floor and
with a coat of paint could be a nice car.
I have all the parts that I have taken off the car.
If anyone is interested let me know. I can e-mail photos of the car. If no
one is interested here, I'll put it in the local paper and wait to see what
happens.
